Foot Square Show

I have decided to hang on to my 'Hellebores' as I feel too attached to part with it, but my other 3 square canvasses will be entered into...

THE FOOT SQUARE SHOW
LOWESTOFT ARTS CENTRE
Triangle Market Place - North Lowestoft
1st-27th June 2009

(THANKS Mum for delivering them whilst we are in France!!)

More Lemons

Back to my usual sized paper with pen & watercolour for a change...

...less paint, less time, more lemons, more reflections.

IS LESS MORE?!?

Lemon & Glass

Spent more time on 'loose' sketching/painting (above) before working on painting (below)

I think it helped but is tricky to know when to STOP!

Acrylic on watercolour paper

25cm x 17cm

Self-Criticism...!

Whilst my last two paintings are not unsuccessful, they are just not quite what I wanted.
I have managed to get some good light/dark contrast, but they are not loose enough....this could be because I am attempting to work on a much smaller size than usual or just that I am trying too hard...??
